Yeah, these falsifications of real events and the creation of non-existent events will probably really flood the network completely. And immature minds: children, schoolchildren and students will not be able to imagine the real picture of the world after some time. And they will live in some fantasy virtual worlds. You are right, humanity needs to fight this somehow.
However, it is not entirely clear how to do this if AI is developing extremely quickly. In short, the plot of the blockbuster "The Matrix" is probably already somewhere close to the direction of civilization development. People will probably not be batteries yet. But they may well turn into a homogeneous mass of useless creatures that populated the Earth and at the same time seriously spoiled the ecology.
I would rather not continue to discussing about artificial intelligence in this context, as has little or nothing to do with the applications it could have on gambling and betting. This is a chat which would be better approached in politics and society board.
Though, if you talk about the matrix and the level of reality these alterations or deep fakes could have in the future, it would not be a surprise if some black hat group exploited such technology to influence of the results or even in the public sentiment about sport matches or political events. Unfortunately, elections in the West and the most vulnerable to manipulations and those elections are subjected to betting, so it would be possible for someone to make a lot of money by influencing on Elections, not only in the United States, but also smaller and less stable countries, in which international community may be not as interested to watch over, but bettors still have a stake on.
Yeah, I agree that we have seriously deviated from the topic of the thread.
But in general, we should all state that manipulation, often bordering on pure fraud, in gambling with the help of modern technologies (for example, augmented reality), can really reach such levels that an ordinary player will be sure that the game is fair. I can even imagine how with the help of deepfakes it will be possible to spin a virtual roulette and make it so that the results needed by the scammers fall out in such a way that no one would notice. Well, in the long term, of course.
Manipulation in local elections is also, of course, just a Klondike if bets are made on them. In general, it is worth stating that progress in the sophistication of falsifications is going quite successfully and IT technologies are now contributing to this very much. Actually, this is the main engine of such a spread of falsifications.
